what type of bigger oil filter are you using? is it napa brand, phram? which one and whats the part number..i may pick one up in the near future02p5 said:Well just an update guys with the PCV valve.
I replaced my PCV valve with the one above and starting using the bigger oil filter and have been running about a month. I noticed imediately that the oil is much cleaner than usual. My oil is usually really dark and dirty, i'm presuming the oil filter is doing a better job than the smaller one. Another important thing I noticed as well is I don't lose as much if any oil, that might be due to the PCV valve.
Overall, the bigger oil filter and PCV valve works great and I recommend it.
You can use a WRX oil fitler on our cars. I saw MPNick put one on Dinospeeds cr before the dyno. The threads are the same size and the rubber ring is also the same size.duMb KeoLa said:what type of bigger oil filter are you using? is it napa brand, phram? which one and whats the part number..i may pick one up in the near future

Yeah, Nick is pretty crafty! I just put it on my car last week and it fits great! The rubber gasket sits nicely on the stock ring area and it is like stock, but bigger. I put in 4 qts and it was up to the full mark on the dipstick.PaulMP3 said:interesting... nice find
i have been using the larger 626 filters for a while, im not sure how they compare to the wrx filter, but they are bigger then the protege filters. I would give the wrx filter a shot, but i just bought 6 filters today.Bigg Tim said:Yeah, Nick is pretty crafty! I just put it on my car last week and it fits great!

I'm interested to know what difference it makes. Where is your catch can currently connected? Into the pcv valve or in between the valve cover and intake?PaulMP3 said:finally got aroud to ordering this.. should be in friday. I let you know how it works with the catch can still in place.
